After getting injured in Afghanistan, Ray Leonard joined the police and has just retired after his stint and after his wife was murdered. Now Ray has discovered that he has prostate cancer and is having to attend chemotherapy sessions with a disparate group of strangers. After one session a man attempts to mug Ray but Ray responds instinctively and the man ends up dead. Ray does not want to spend what little time he has left in prison but does wonder about settling a few scores and his chemo group are very supportive!
This is a surprisingly good book! I loved the premise about a terminally ill man and felt Ray was a well-written character. I also liked the ending because it wasn't too obvious. However what I loved was the very black humour employed, it didn't sugarcoat anything. ( )
